Activity Report 2015

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

With the establishment of the Brussels Commissioner for Europe and International Organisations (CEIO) at the end of 2014 and the appointment of its Commissioner, Alain Hutchinson, the Brussels government has taken the first steps towards developing a formal and consistent host region policy within the framework of its regional powers, and in support of the Brussels-Capital Region’s profile as an internationally-focused region. The mission of the CEIO is to develop a regional host policy, the main purpose of which is to facilitate the establishment of all international organisations in Brussels, in harmony with the development of the Region and the needs of its citizens.

The activity report 2015 of the CEIO aims to illustrate achievements during this first year of operation. It also presages the importance of this mission that the Brussels government has given us; a mission that we have seized enthusiastically and hopefully effectively.
